THE IMPACT OF FUTURE CHANGES IN CLIMATE VARIABLES AND GROUNDWATER ABSTRACTION ON BASIN-SCALE GROUNDWATER AVAILABILITY

The impact of future changes in climate variables and groundwater abstraction on basin-scale groundwater availability

Groundwater is under pressure from a changing climate and increasing anthropogenic demands.In this study, we project the effect of these two processes onto future groundwater status.Climate projections Cartridge Belts of Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP4.5) and Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) from the Coupled Model In
